  • A Novel Ship Target Detection Algorithm Based on Error Self-Adjustment Extreme Learning Machine and Cascade Classifier
    Cognitive Computation (2019) 11:110–124 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-018-9606-5 A Novel Ship Target Detection Algorithm Based on Error Self-adjustment Extreme Learning Machine and Cascade Classifier Wandong Zhang1,2 · Qingzhong Li1 · Q. M. Jonathan Wu2 · Yimin Yang3 · Ming Li1 Received: 30 June 2018 / Accepted: 10 October 2018 / Published online: 24 October 2018 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract High-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) has a vital civilian and military significance for ship target detection and tracking because of its wide visual field and large sea area coverage. However, most of the existing ship target detection methods of HFSWR face two main difficulties: (1) the received radar signals are strongly polluted by clutter and noises, and (2) it is difficult to detect ship targets in real-time due to high computational complexity. This paper presents a ship target detection algorithm to overcome the problems above by using a two-stage cascade classification structure. Firstly, to quickly obtain the target candidate regions, a simple gray-scale feature and a linear classifier were applied. Then, a new error self-adjustment extreme learning machine (ES-ELM) with Haar-like input features was adopted to further identify the target precisely in each candidate region. The proposed ES-ELM includes two parts: initialization part and updating part. In the former stage, the L1 regularizer process is adopted to find the sparse solution of output weights, to prune the useless neural nodes and to obtain the optimal number of hidden neurons. Also, to ensure an excellent generalization performance by the network, in the latter stage, the parameters of hidden layer are updated through several iterations using L2 regularizer process with pulled back error matrix.

  • Transmitter T (X) Channel E (X) Receiver R
    Analog Communication ( 10EC53 ) Introduction The function of the communication system is to make available at the destination a signal originating at a distant point. This signal is called the desired signal. Unfortunately, during the passage of the signal through the channel and front-end of the receiver, this desired signal gets corrupted by a number of undesired signals. This is referred to as Noise. Noise is any unknown or unwanted signal. Noise is the static you hear in the speaker when you tune any AM or FM receiver to any position between stations. It is also the snow or confetti that is visible on a TV screen. The received signal is modeled as r (t) = s (t) + n (t) Where s (t) is the transmitted/desired signal n (t) is the additive noise/unwanted signal The signal n (t) gets added at the channel. It disturbs the transmission and processing of signal in Communication System. Over which one cannot have a control. In general term it is an unwanted signal that affects a wanted signal. It is a random signal that cannot be represented with a simple equation. But some time can be deterministic components (power supply hum, certain oscillations).Deterministic Components can be eliminated by proper shielding and introduction of notch filters. If their were no noise perfect communication would be possible with minimum transmitted power. At the receiver only amplification of the signal power to the desired level is required. If R (x)=T (x) then e (x)=0 Transmitter Receiver T (x) R (x) If R (x) ≠ T (x) then e (x) ≠ 0.The received signal is corrupted.

It is assumed to be Gaussian and the power is proportional to the temperature of the material, in Kelvin. • Atmospheric noise is caused by electrical activity in the atmosphere, e.g. lightning. This noise is impulsive in its nature and below 20 MHz it is a dominating. • Cosmic noise is caused by radiation from space and the sun is a major contributor.

This alteration in the communication process, leads to the message getting altered. It most likely enters at the channel or the receiver. Effect of noise • Degrades system performance (Analog and digital) • Receiver cannot distinguish signal from noise • Efficiency of communication system reduces Most common examples of noise are: • Hiss sound in radio receivers • Buzz sound amidst of telephone conversations • Flicker in television receivers, Noise Sources External Internal Noise Noise Atmospheric Industrial Extraterrestrial Solar Noise Cosmic Noise External Noise : • It is due to Man- made and natural resources • Sources over which we have no control such as thunders, snow fall, lightning etc.

Claude E. Shannon conceptualized the communication theory model in the late 1940s. It remains central to communication study today. Noise is random signal that exists in communication systems Channel is the main source of noise in communication systems Transmitter or Receiver may also induce noise in the system There are mainly 2-types of noise sources Internal noise source (are mainly internal to the communication system) External noise source Noise is an inconvenient feature which affects the system performance. Following are the effects of noise Degrade system performance for both analog and digital systems Noise limits the operating range of the systems Noise indirectly places a limit on the weakest signal that can be amplified by an amplifier. The oscillator in the mixer circuit may limit its frequency because of noise. A system’s operation depends on the operation of its circuits. Noise limits the smallest signal that a receiver is capable of processing The receiver can not understand the sender the receiver can not function as it should be. Noise affects the sensitivity of receivers: Sensitivity is the minimum amount of input signal necessary to obtain the specified quality output. Noise affects the sensitivity of a receiver system, which eventually affects the output.
